Grace for your spirit May 30, 2008

But kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance. Acts 26:20

Mahatma Gandhi was an observer and motivator of people. He wrote of the seven deadly sins as; wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, knowledge without character, commerce without morality, science without humanity, worship without sacrifice, and politics without principle. He also said he liked the teachings of Christ, but didn’t care for Christ’s followers. The gospel preached by Paul was coming to Christ and walking away with a changed life. Perhaps if the Christians he had met had been performing deeds appropriate to repentance, he might have found his way to Christ. What are people observing is us? Christ or hypocrisy?

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
